[OpenTRV-interest] Multiple rads in one room

[Damon Hart-Davis]

Hi,

Nominally we can slave a second radiator from another one, but we haven’t tried/implemented it yet.  Should not be too hard to put together a config that supports it, and we could help you create such a config.

We have tested OpenTRV controlling two rads in one room independently; seems OK but could probably be improved.

It'll need careful balancing (I'm thinking judicious use of some small bore pipes as well as the lockshields) but it avoids any potential for TRVs to fight with each other.
